Dr. Elissa Auther, Windgate Research and Collections Curator at the Museum of Arts and Design, discusses the exhibition Surface/Depth by pioneering feminist artist Miriam Schapiro. A founding member of the Pattern and Decoration movement, Schapiro passed away at the age of 91 in June 2015. This exhibition explores her signature “femmages,” the term she coined to describe her distinctive hybrid of painting and collage inspired by women’s domestic arts and crafts and the feminist critique of the hierarchy of art and craft. Surface/Depth is showing at the Museum of Arts and Design until September 2018. This segment is guest hosted by Kai Wright.
